Kate Beckinsale has fans worried after wiping her entire Instagram archive on Sunday, September 20. All that remains are two posts: a black-and-white slide reading“Bye”and a rainbow image captioned“Congratulations, you won. I give up.”She hasn’t explained the messages, and her representative has not commented.
The timing matters. Over the past few weeks, Beckinsale has been candid about living with non-military PTSD, describing how trauma survivors“see it when they blink.”She’s also spoken openly about grief after losing her mother to stage IV cancer in 2025, following the earlier deaths of her father and stepfather. She described grief as something that killed her appetite entirely.
This also isn’t the first time she’s cleared her page. In August, she wiped her Instagram following her mother’s death and a wave of body-shaming comments. Now, with that“I give up”caption, the conversation online has shifted from gossip to genuine concern for her wellbeing. What do you think, should fans be worried, or should we give her space?
